The German motorway, or 'autobahn', is characterised by long traditions,meticulous state planning, historical misbalance between West and EastGermany's transport networks, and highest increase in traffic in modern Europe,posing a need for expansion and/or restructuring. We attempt to evaluate thestructure of autobahns using principles of intrinsic optimality of biologicalnetworks in experiments with slime mould of Physarum polycephalum. Inlaboratory experiments with living slime mould we represent major urban areasof Germany with sources of nutrients, inoculate the slime mould in Berlin, waittill the slime mould colonises all major urban areas and compare thestatistical structure of protoplasmic networks with existing autobahn network.The straightforward comparative analysis of the slime mould and autobahn graphsis supported by integral characteristics and indices of the graphs. We alsostudy the protoplasmic and autobahn networks in the context of planar proximitygraphs.
